Ext.Direct with MVC

gistfile1.js

/*
First problem: referencing direct action in proxies/FormPanels

When using Ext.Direct with either Ext.data.proxy.Direct or Ext.form.Basic, you have to specify the function directly, so the function MUST previously be defined by calling Ext.direct.Manager.addProvider. This is a problem because normally the call to addProvider comes after the config evaluation.

For example
*/

Ext.create('Ext.data.proxy.Direct', {
	api: {
		create: MyApp.mynamespace.MyAction.myMethod // This work only if Direct API is already defined
	}
});

/*
A solution for this problem can be to support specifying Direct methods by string, eg:
*/

Ext.create('Ext.data.proxy.Direct', {
	api: {
		create: 'MyApp.mynamespace.MyAction.myMethod' // This is a string, that will be evaluated to a Direct function just before it will be called
	}
});

/*
At this point you can safely add Ext.direct.Manager.addProvider call in Ext.app.Application constructor, eg:
*/

Ext.define('Ext.app.Application', {
    constructor: function(config) {
		if(config.directApi) {
			Ext.syncRequire('Ext.direct.Manager');
			Ext.direct.Manager.addProvider(directApi);
		}
		
		// The rest ...
	}
});
